A Superior Visit

After our drive along Old US Highway 60, we continued east on new US Highway 60 to the community of Superior. It was time to eat and we needed to check on some of the geocaches we have placed in that town. 

Main Street was busy! Most of the vehicles were parked at two locations: Porters and the Silver King Smokehouse.

The last time we ate at what is now The Silver King Smokehouse, it was Porters. Porters has moved to the south side of the street and farther west. (Porters is known for their burgers.)

There were only a couple of empty tables on the patio. The inside also had lots of diners. It was about 2:00 when we stopped.

We chose the sampler platter of 3 meats and 1 side. We were well into enjoying our meal when I thought about the photo! We had turkey, brisket and ribs with fries. Three sauces were available for us to try: BBQ, BBQ Spicy and Gold (a mustard-y flavor). The tray was empty when we were done.

This employee had just checked the cooking meat in the largest of the two smokers. The patron must have had a question or a compliment.

The smokers were HUGE! No little BBQ grills or soldered barrels! These smokers are the real McCoy! (Notice the picnic tables rather than the tables from cable spindles.)

I don't believe the inside has many changes from Porters to Silver King, other than maybe different lighting and the green plants.

We made a good choice. They serve only smoked meats and salads. It was delicious.

one of the many murals in Superior

A tribute to a local veteran on the wall of the VFW. I think this was a new mural as I do not remember it from our last visit.

This creative and colorful fence caught my eye. Superior is an artist community as mentioned in my blogs from the Superior Home Show posts in late February from past years.

Note to the locals reading this blog post: The Buckboard and Barmacy are open on the weekends only. (Info from our wait staff.) Yes, the hotel is available for reservations, but not food.
